18" Lightweight Forged Konig Wheels! Great Price!
Check it out guys. These wheels are so clean and at 22lbs for the 18x10! They are perfect for our cars and the 18x9.5 would be a little lighter.

I don't care if those rims were made in a hut in Africa, THEY ARE SICK!! I am planning on downsizing to 18" rims in the future (19" rims ride ROUGH!!!!) and these look like the ticket. The rim being LIGHT WEIGHT is just an added bonus

I normally keep my opinions to myself on vehicle aesthetics, especially when it comes to wheels, but I think the C43 looks best on period tuner wheels. A really modern wheel looks like its trying too hard, ie. C63 replicas look wonky I think. But Carlssons or Brabus wheels from the era look 'right', just like the E55 Monoblock.
But that's just me. And I have made in Taiwan replacement fenders and made in China centre caps, so I must sound like a hypocrite slagging off these Konigs.
The other comment is that 22lbs for an 18x10 isn't extremely lightweight. Okay, light compared to stock, but not ultra light. In my view, 'lightweight' means equal to or less than a pound per inch of diameter, or very close to that spec. If you want ultra lightweight and fairly cheap, I'd suggest the Enkei RPF1. The 17s on my S2000 are less than 16 lbs each. I think the Volk TE37 is are pretty lightweight, and there are a few Buddy Club and Kosei designs that are light too - but Volks are getting on at least $500 per corner...going German, the OZ Ultraleggera and Allegerita are pretty lightweight, just over 18 lbs in 18" applications I believe. Unfortunately, the bestest wheel of all, the BBS LM, is actually quite heavy, more like 24-25lbs in 18". Too bad, but I still want a set. One day.

Yeah, I dig those Brabus IVs. The VIs are nice too. I really like the look of the Carlsson 1/6 - maybe I should just run my set... Have to buy spacers and lugs though, bleah. Unfortunately, I don't think any of those wheels are lightweight. Not a problem for me, as the car is just a cruising car, but if one were really concerned about weight, then one shouldn't run these wheels. Probably shouldn't even run 18s, but 17s instead. Just a quick look here:

Doesn't look like the RPF1 comes in 5x112 in 17s, only 18s.

The 18x8.5's are just 19lbs. Thats pretty light.

whats the ideal offset and width for the front and rears? I'm seeing the enkei pf01 coming in:
18x8 5x112 35 or 45 et
18x9 5x112 35 et
around 18lbs each
The look is a little "thin" for my taste but the weight and price (~$299/ea) makes them attractive. Would these fit? The rear offset is only 35. Anyone know about spacers that would work well with these?

My wheels are pretty light compared to stock (24lbs front (17"); 28lbs rear (18")). Just a friendly reminder/throwing that out there.

Been wheel shopping (again, it's like my other favorite pastime) and have stumbled across Rotiforms and Raderwerks. Mostly they cater to the Audi/VW crowd, but there's a guy (username pww) on the 203 AMG forums with a set of Rotiforms on his C55. Nice look, and not too expensive. Full set would be about $1100-1200.
